Still doesn't detract from the matter that they have used the system to gain some sort of financial advantage . The likes of Farsley Weymouth Maidstone Salisbury aren't what you would call footballing hotbeds , living within your means and playing by the rules doesn't appear to be in the majority of these teams vocabulary .
If someone offered you the chance to be financially secure but with a 1 in 6 chance that you would cease to exist if you took it, what would you choose?

Yes , but these chairmen have got into this situation by their own mismanagement and bad decisions usually with other people's money . Easy way out for them and they very rarely loose out .

well our chairman/director didn’t, our problems started with ITV digital collapsing, (not under fenty,s watch) He inherited the debt and then found a solution by cost cutting and making the football club run within means and financing out of his own pocket, the football fortune, lady luck has deserted us in the last 10 years, but i believe we are on the up now.

Like I said and you are saying , living within your means . We have been unlucky to a point , but we have been sensible , and we are where we are because of it . We will never know if we had splashed the cash on unaffordable players where we would be now . However I will repeat it hasn't done some clubs too much damage . We are all fed up of this horrible league , we aren't playing attractive named teams , we aren't watching attractive football . Hopefully this season , my Christmas wish .

We did in a way though. £13k a week on a certain Chinese International springs to mind!

I never want to see town lose but pray to god we get knocked out by gateshead in this next round and solely concentrate on the league. Its tinpot money and hasn't majority helped us in the past has it? I kind of get this feeling that its hurst vs the fans again, he knows its vital we go up and the fans no its vital we do too and avoid any slip ups like the last time we went on a huge run to the final and messed up the play offs, but yet he is adamant we win the trophy.
I used to think in hursty we trust but right now I haven't got the trust in no-one at gtfc and if we don't go up, I shall revert to watching Cleethorpes Town full-time instead.
I have to go with a lot of that. League has to be the priority.Dont mind if we go on a run if we use fringe players and youths to get match time and experience

Huxford and Co. Les. It seemed easy for them to spend others money.

FFS when will people stop flipping going on about ITV money. There where many others in the same position as Town at the time and done ok since, FFS get over it. " Making the Football club run within it means" oh Ye that's why we have so much debt at the moment. "Lady luck has deserted us in the last 10 years" balderdash good stewardship and good decision making at vital times has deserted us in the last 10 years. I have been thinking why Bournmouth are now a million times better of than us the reason is they have had better decision makers at the top.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |
